It was a slow journey and we actually managed to get back to Jingningbo Mansion ahead of the giant pandas.
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen was helped out of the carriage, the noise came as expected. Two cute giant pandas entered Jingningbo Mansion under the watch of the neighbors. The vermilion gate was closed, blocking the curious and inquiring eyes of outsiders.
The carriage transporting the giant pandas drove straight to the rare park. Ye Zhenzhen watched the whole process. However, Cui Weizhen was worried that she would be bumped and did not allow her to get close. He did not let her watch through the fence until the giant pandas were put into the fenced play area.
Giant panda.
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
It seems that there is no difference from the previous life.
She touched her belly. Forget it, she was carrying a baby in her belly. It wouldn't be too late to experience the fun of being a wet nurse after the baby was born.
In the play area, the two keepers accompanying them were calming the giant pandas' resistance to arriving in a strange place. Although they were wild giant pandas, they were not too wild and ferocious. With the keepers' comfort, their
The mood slowly stabilized.
Ye Zhenzhen saw something unusual and turned around to ask Cui Weizhen: "What's going on with the two breeders?"
Cui Weizhen didn't know, but the disciple who was responsible for this matter was called Zhou Mingyu. He was waiting to be summoned. At this time, he quickly stepped forward and explained the specific situation one by one.
"After I got the order from my uncle, I led a dozen servants to Shu to look for bamboo bears. However, bamboo bears are rare and hard to find. I couldn't find them anywhere. I went deep into the mountains several times and couldn't find them. I thought I was going to return without success.
I accidentally learned that there is a local Xu family who has been training bears for generations.
When I found the village where the Xu family is located, I discovered that they were raising a few bamboo bears in the nearby mountains and forests. The two that were sent to the house were raised by the Xu family. I negotiated with the Xu family and they were willing to sell them.
Two bamboo bears were given as gifts, along with two members of the clan. The tall one is the elder brother, named Xu Daxiong, and the short one is the younger brother, named Xu Erxiong."
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, is that you?
The corner of Ye Zhenzhen's mouth twitched and she almost didn't laugh. She had to say that the name was too perfunctory. However, we can't expect illiterate people to come up with such a good name. The reason why she didn't call her Goudan was probably because she had a family.
There are factors of academic origin in it.
Compared to Ye Zhenzhen's complaints, Cui Weizhen thought of something more: "Since the Xu family makes a living by training bears, why are they unknown and still living in seclusion in a remote village?"
This is also a reasonable speculation. If the Xu family was famous, Zhou Yu and others would have found out the news long ago.
Zhou Yu looked serious and said quickly: "It seems that the Xu family's experience is related to the prefect of Shuzhou ten years ago..."
I have mentioned before that many years ago Shu officials presented a bamboo bear to Emperor Xuanwu. That bamboo bear was the prefect of Shuzhou ten years ago.
The Xu family was well-known in Shu for training bears to pass on the family, and even brought bamboo bears to perform on the streets. When the prefect of Shuzhou learned about this, he felt strange and forced to buy the bamboo bear regardless of the wishes of the Xu family.
Not long ago, bamboo bears were presented as tribute to Emperor Xuanwu on his birthday.
The prefect of Shuzhou was interested in the bamboo bear's human nature, but he didn't know that it was because the Xu family carefully raised the bamboo bear. The stolen bamboo bear was not taken care of by Xu's family. After entering Beijing, he was not in good spirits. A month later, Bai died of illness in the palace.
Zoo.
This matter is either a big deal or a small matter. The Animal Garden is full of rare animals donated from various places. Every now and then, animals that are acclimated to the environment will die. The bamboo bear died of illness, so it can be written off according to the normal process.
However, the political opponents in the DPRK and China of the Shuzhou prefect found out about the matter and made a fuss about it, including impeachment when Emperor Xuanwu was in a bad mood.
The impeachment of the prefect of Shuzhou for having evil intentions and offering a sick bear as a holy ceremony is a crime of great disrespect...
A good birthday gift suddenly fell ill and died. Ordinary people would feel resentful, let alone Emperor Xuanwu, who stood at the top of power. He became angry on the spot and directly beat the prefect of Shuzhou to the bottom and demoted him to a new position.
civilian.
An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. It is difficult for the deposed Shuzhou prefect to seek revenge from his political enemies, but it is still very easy to anger the Xu family.
Therefore, the Xu family was suppressed to the point of being unable to survive. At the same time, they were worried that their family would be liquidated by the emperor, so they retreated to the mountains and remained anonymous, hoping to make a comeback in the future.
This time, they thought it was an opportunity to revive the family. Zhou Yu and others got two bamboo bears and two accompanying keepers without paying much.
After Ye Zhenzhen heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder the ancients praised "everything is low-grade, but reading is good". In fact, the ability of craftsmen and ordinary people to resist risks is too low. It is obviously an innocent disaster, but it may also be implicated by high-ranking people, causing it to collapse.
Compared with her sentimental feelings, Cui Weizhen seemed calm and cold. He had seen this kind of thing many times, but it was just that the other party had something to do with his wife's pet, so he was willing to spend more time on it.
He then asked: "Have you ever found out who the prefect of Shuzhou is?"
"Inquiry revealed that the Shuzhou magistrate has long since died of illness, but his political opponents are still active in both the government and the public."
"Who is it?"
Zhou Yu glanced at the next door. Even though there was no outsider, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "It's Feng Shang Shu."
It turned out to be him.
Cui Weizhen smiled: "Now I am Feng Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. You are not well-informed outside, so don't call me by the wrong name."
Zhou Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise.
King Ke's father-in-law was actually cut into this shape. What happened? King Ke, is he okay?
In fact, outsiders have no way of knowing whether King Ke is good or bad. After he was injured in the fire at Qingyuan Pavilion, he was first taken to the palace to recuperate. After the father of the concubine was deprived of his official title, he returned to King Ke's Mansion and has been behind closed doors to this day.
Not out, it is said that he is still recovering from his injuries.
Therefore, the major families who were imprisoned due to his involvement had no way to appeal, and they really could not resist the pressure of Emperor Xuanwu. Recently, they have released their tenants one after another and paid taxes.
Of course, these are all off-topic and will not be mentioned for now.
Cui Weizhen had something to explain to Zhou Yu and had already gone to the other side to talk in detail. Ye Zhenzhen took the opportunity to call the two brothers of the Xu family over for questioning.
The two Xu brothers have learned Mandarin, but they don't speak it very well. Ye Zhenzhen can barely understand it, and there is no big problem in communication.
Ye Zhenzhen informed them of the various rules and requirements for caring for giant pandas and asked for their opinions. After all, it was the experience summed up from later generations, which was naturally much better than the Xu family's own methods.
The brother was overjoyed when he heard this. Not only did he not object, but he also agreed to guide other servants in the rare park to serve the giant panda. He seemed to be very talkative.
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally no rule that could not be shared, otherwise she would have to put in more effort to get this matter settled.
The personnel work has been arranged, and she can finally appreciate her incomparable cuteness without any distractions!
